Summary
Simone Weil: On the abolition of political parties
Philosopher, Hellenist, activist, mystic, Simone Vale was and remains one of the most uncompromising and spiritual authors of the 20th century. In the title essay in this book, followed by the essays Personhood and the Sacred and If We Struggle for Justice, she questions the foundations of the modern liberal political order, an argument that, especially today, takes on an undoubted resonance, because at this very moment, people's apathy and fears represent a greater threat to democracies in the world than ever before.
